The Rope Curse is a belief held in various Asian cultures, particularly in Taiwan and China. It is a spooky superstition that revolves around the idea that cursed ropes can bring misfortune and death to those who encounter them. According to local folklore, the curse can be triggered by encountering a rope tied in a specific knot called the "ghost knot" or by seeing a looped rope hanging in the air, seemingly without any support. It is believed that these cursed ropes are imbued with supernatural powers and can cause a series of unfortunate events to befall those who come into contact with them. The origins of the Rope Curse are varied, with some claiming that it dates back to ancient times when ropes were used in rituals to trap evil spirits. Others believe that the curse is a result of tragic deaths or accidents that have occurred in the past involving ropes.
